Copies the elements from the range [first, last) to another range beginning at
d_first replacing all elements satisfying specific criteria with new_value. The
source and destination ranges cannot overlap.

1) Replaces all elements that are equal to old_value.
3) Replaces all elements for which predicate p returns true.
2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy. These overloads do not
participate in overload resolution unless
std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>>
(until C++20)
std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>>
(since C++20) is true.

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to copy
d_first - the beginning of the destination range
old_value - the value of elements to replace
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
unary predicate which returns true if the element value should be
replaced.

The expression p(v) must be convertible to bool for every argument v
p - of type (possibly const) VT, where VT is the value type of InputIt,
regardless of value category, and must not modify v. Thus, a parameter
type of VT&is not allowed
, nor is VT unless for VT a move is equivalent to a copy
(since C++11).
new_value - the value to use as replacement

Type requirements

-
InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.
-
OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator.
-
ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.

Return value

Iterator to the element past the last element copied.

Complexity

Exactly last - first applications of the predicate.

Exceptions

The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as
follows:

* If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception
and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called.
For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
* If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

Possible implementation

First version

template<class InputIt, class OutputIt, class T>
OutputIt replace_copy(InputIt first, InputIt last, OutputIt d_first,
const T& old_value, const T& new_value)
{
for (; first != last; ++first) {
*d_first++ = (*first == old_value) ? new_value : *first;
}
return d_first;
}

Second version

template<class InputIt, class OutputIt,
class UnaryPredicate, class T>
OutputIt replace_copy_if(InputIt first, InputIt last, OutputIt d_first,
UnaryPredicate p, const T& new_value)
{
for (; first != last; ++first) {
*d_first++ = p( *first ) ? new_value : *first;
}
return d_first;
}

Example

The following copy prints a vector, replacing all values over 5 with 99 on the fly.

// Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <functional>

int main()
{
std::vector<int> v{5, 7, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 9, 0, 3};
std::replace_copy_if(v.begin(), v.end(),
std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "),
[](int n){return n > 5;}, 99);
std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

5 99 4 2 99 99 1 99 0 3
